1953 Map of Lone Haystack Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1982

About this map

The North Platte River snakes through the southern reaches of this Carbon County landscape, carving through the Fort Steele Breaks as it flows east toward Cedar Ridge. This 1953 survey, with updates from the early 1980s, illustrates a high-desert terrain defined by seasonal drainages and essential water sources. These vital points are clearly marked by named features like Wise Dugout Springs and Lower Dugway Spring, which likely served as critical landmarks for early travelers and livestock. The area's topography is dominated by the namesake Lone Haystack Mountain and the uniquely named Stinkhole. Human infrastructure is sparse but notable, including the north-south transit of the Seminoe Road and a long-distance Pipeline, reflecting the region's role as a corridor for transport and energy movement within the wider Missouri River Basin development project.
